Since I Don't Have You
Guns*N*Roses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't have hopes and dreams
I, I, I don't have anything
Since I don't have you
And I don't have fond desires
And I don't have happy hours
I don't have anything
Happiness and I guess
I never will again
When you walked out on me
In walked ol' misery
And she's been here since then
Yeah, we're fucked!
I don't have love to share
And I don't have one who cares
I, I, I, I don't have anything
Since I don't have you
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, oh yeah!
The lyrics of "Since I Don't Have You" by Guns N' Roses delve into the raw emotions of heartbreak and loss. The singer conveys a sense of emptiness and despair, expressing the void left in their life since the departure of their loved one. The repetition of phrases like "I don't have plans and schemes," "I don't have hopes and dreams," and "I don't have anything" underscores the profound sense of absence and lack of purpose that has consumed them in the absence of their significant other.
The lyrics also touch upon the theme of shattered dreams and unrealized aspirations. The lines "And I don't have fond desires" and "And I don't have happy hours" suggest that the singer's joy and motivation have been stripped away along with the presence of their loved one. The repetition of the phrase "Since I don't have you" emphasizes that their entire world has been upended and rendered meaningless by the absence of this person who was once central to their happiness and sense of fulfillment.
The lyrics further explore the aftermath of the breakup, painting a picture of lingering pain and sorrow. The imagery of "ol' misery" personified as a constant companion since the departure of the loved one conveys the enduring emotional turmoil and distress that has plagued the singer in the wake of the breakup. The stark declaration "we're fucked!" encapsulates the singer's blunt acknowledgment of the bleak reality they now face without their beloved, highlighting the sense of hopelessness and helplessness that pervades their existence.
The final verses of the song emphasize the profound sense of loss and isolation experienced by the singer. The repetition of "I don't have love to share" and "I don't have one who cares" underscores the deep sense of loneliness and abandonment they feel in the absence of their partner. The repetition of the refrain "Since I don't have you" not only serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of the breakup but also reinforces the central theme of the song – the singer's profound emptiness and longing for the one they have lost. The emotional plea and yearning expressed through the repeated cries of "You, you, you, oh, oh!" highlight the enduring pain and longing that reverberates throughout the lyrics, underscoring the profound depth of the singer's emotions in the aftermath of their heartbreak.

When you walked out on me
When you left me
In walked ol' misery
Misery came in instead
And she's been here since then
And she has stayed with me ever since
I don't have love to share
I don't have any love to give
And I don't have one who cares
And I don't have someone who cares about me
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh, oh!
